Edema following circumcision typically takes about two weeks to gradually resolve, as it results from the re-establishment of blood circulation. After edema develops, physical therapy and warm towel compresses can be used to promote blood circulation and alleviate swelling. During the postoperative recovery period, wound hygiene must be carefully maintained to prevent infection, and sexual activity should be avoided until fully healed.
